SUCCESSFUL TRADING.
Beginning with Team of Horses and End
Ing with a Fortune.


In 1868 William Pitt Kellogg was in
the active service of the army, but he
still held on to his position as Supreme
Court Justice of the Territory of Ne
braska. He went home in that year to
hold court for a short time. On his
way to Nebraska he stopped in Illinois
at Il place where he had pair of horses.
He was sick and he thought he would
take his team and drive to Nebraska,
thinking that this method of travelling
would do him good. He arrived in
Omaha with the team, and while he
was holding court there Ben Chapman,
an old bachelor of the town, was con-
stantly borrowing the team to take
some of his lady friends out to ride.
Mr. Kellogg did not know what to do
with the team after he had finished his
court work and had made arrange
ments to board them. But Chapman
came to him one day and offered to
trade him some land for the team.
They drove out to the land through a
rough country and over a marshy piece
of ground until they reached the six
teen-acrc tract owned by Chapman.
They made the trade while they were
there.
Mr.. Kellogg then took ten acres of
the tract at $50 an acre, the team, har-
ness, wagon and blankets and whip
being counted in at $500. In few
months after he purchased the other six
acres at 800 an acre. This was in
1868. He has held on to part Of that
land with great persistence since that
time, parting only, as under pressure
from his agent at Omaha, with occa-
sional sales of small portions. His
holding last year was reduced to little
over three acres. He sold seven-eighths
Of an acre out of this tract for S3S, 900.
He took that ;S3S, 900 and invested it ir
piece of property in tho northwest of
Washington, known us the Widows
Mite property, He paid $1,000 more,
making $4,000 as the purchase price.
He was offered few days ago $1,000
n cash for this Washington property.
He can sell out the balance of his real
estate tract in Omaha at any time for
100000 So the team stands him to-
lay clean profit Of over S300,000.-

HOURS OF NIGHT.

O heavenly Night When far and deep
The earth is wrapped in balmy sleep,
And stars their burning watches keep
Der palace proud and lowly cot;
When all the weary hearts of men
Breathe in the strength of life again.
And all the throes of racking pain
And toll and labor are forgot!
% hours of Night how softly fall
Your mantling shadows, folding all,
And covering deep from our recall
The memories of LIES cruel Pastl
When haunting voices from the day
Grew fainter-fainter-far away
And that pure Peace for which we pray
Bindeth the trembling spirit fast.
And standing with her wings outspread
Above the lowly sleeper's bed,
She poureth balm on heart and head
And heals the wasting form with sleep.
And all the souls wild, haunting fears,
And all the burdens from the years
That crowd our hearts and move our tears,
Are lost in soothing silence deep.
o rest and rapture Of the soul!
When all the grefs our days control,
Like shadows black and heavy, roll
INTO oblivion S voiceless sea
To be from all the heart has known,
From all bitter world has shown
OF anguish upon anguish thrown,
AT last! at last entirely free!
He knows not life, who has not found
Beneath its hours of night profound
Some soothing balm for every wound
Relentless care has wrought;
Who has not come from tears and pain
With purer heart and wiser brain,
And girt himself for toll again
Ofholier deeds and higher thought
And when shall fall the solemn sleep,
That foldeth-foldeth dark and deep!

In dust and darkness kneeiing low;

but without success Suddenly the little
fellow sits right back on the ground, pulling
his opponent after him, and by most
mastery conjunction of skill and muscle
launches the big fellow clear over his head,
still keeping hold of his hands. When the
heavy body strikes the ground, it seems as
though every hone must break. The dirty
little imp in the ring gets up, pushes the
hair out of his eyes, and for the first time
allows a grin to pass over his grimy
features. OF course, the crowd are just
convulsed with laughter, while the poor vic
tim, with his hair no longer neatly brushed
and with his striped tights much the worse

LONDON's NEW LORD MAYOR.
Alderman Polydore De Keyser, the
First Catholic Elected Since 1853.

First Catholic Elected Since 1858.
From the Nep York World.
Alderman Polodore de Keyser, who on
Nov. 9, next, will be definitely sworn into
office as Lord Mayor of the city of London
by the Lord Chief Justice of England, is a
Belgian by birth, and was naturalized as a
subject of Queen Victoria about twenty
two wears ago He will be the first Roman
Catholic who has been elected to the dignity
of chief magistrate of the metropolis, and,
when it is borne in mind that even during
Queen Victoria's reign there have been mo
Popery" riots in England, and up to the
year 1928 Catholics were debarred from
most of the civil and military offices of
the state, it must be admitted
that the nation has become less
insular and more broad minded in its views
1t is, however, only fair to add that the
Catholicity of the Lord Mayor is tempered
by the rather remarkable fact of his being a
Freemason. 1t is very rare indeed that q
Roman Catholic belongs to the craft. More
over. at the time of his election. fortnight
ago. he set the minds of all unhappy zealots
at rest by declaring: I'm my official capacity
| recognize but one church-the Established
Church of this country-and as such shall
attend the three great state religious cere-
monies which all Lord Mayors of the city of
London have hitherto attended" 1t is sig
nificant likewise that he enjoys the support
of the City Press, the stauncheSt Protestant
newspaper in the kingdom.
As one of the principal duties of the Lord
Mayor consists in entertaining and in main
tanning the traditional hospitality of the
Mansion House, Alderman de Keyser's ex-
perience as landlord and manager of the
well known Royal } otel, Blackfr1ars, is
likely to be of considerable use to him. In
politics he is a Liberal Unionist, but it is
reported that he intends to adhere to the
example of some of the most popular of
his predecessors in refraining from taking
any part in the politics of the day. An
excellent speaker, an accomplished musician,
a member of some half dozen learned
societies and of about fifteen city guilds,
Mr.. de Keyser may truly be called many
sided man. 1t requires, however, some
body of that sort to fulfill the multifarious
duties and dignities of the Lord Mayor of
the city of London. These include the
office OF general of militia, an admiral of
the port of London, a chief judge Of the city,
a CONSERVATION of the river Thames, and
MANY others too numerous to mention.
In conclusion, it may be stated that he has
filled various minor municipal positions of
trust during the last fifteen years, and that
he has served the Office of sheriff of London
and Middlesex. The salary of the lord
mavor amounts to $4,000 and includes a
princely residence at the Mansion House.
He is expected, however, to spend at least
as much more out of his own pocket in en-
tertainments during his term.
